    Maybe I’m nuts or…. nuts but I was thinking last night what I will be doing when my bucks are dropping their antlers. Like, at the exact moment. And I grabbed my calculator. Using a 90 day period from Jan 1st to the end of March. Estimated numbers of course

    2010 MN deer population : 1,000,000

    Deer harvested(based on 09 numbers: 194,178

    Deer remaining: 805,822

    Buck to doe ratio(est.1-5)Bucks left: 161,164

    (below set of numbers are doubled-each buck has 2 antlers.)

    Antlers dropped per day 3,581.42

    Antlers dropped per hour 298.45

    Antlers dropped per minute 4.97

    1 antler dropped every 12 seconds!

    And,, trust me, the math is right. Go get em boys!

    I think you doubled the number of antlers twice. Once for the per day calculation, but then again in the per hour calculation??? Still an impressive number either way!
